ja ja, ze germans and zeir love for david hasselhoff... I can't go out eat Weißwurst and drink bavarian beer without hearing his songs in every Ratskeller 8)
I believe Hassle The Hoff has a chance of being almost as embarrassingly bad at rapping as Bill Shatner was in his rendition of "Lucy in the sky with diamonds".
I'm not really sure where this "Hasslehoff popular in Germany" myth emanated from. Popularity amongst a 8-12 year old audience back in the 1980s isn't really a good measure of overall popularity.
I have to admit though that taking the role of "Boner" in "Revenge of the Cheerleaders" was kinda cool in a disturbing kind of a way. No, I am not making that up.
As far as rapping goes... I am confident we have a second Eminem in the making.
